Perfume Parlour Takada Universe For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Takada Universe For Women opens with Red Fruits, Bergamot, and Pear, settles into a heart of Floral, Rose, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Ambroxan. Perfume Parlour's Takada Universe For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Takada Universe chases Kenzo World, pairing a fruity-floral opening of red fruits, jasmine and peony with the original's signature clean ambroxan drydown. The dupe renders the powdery polish a little simpler and the longevity shorter, but the modern floral-musk character carries.

About

Takada Universe opens fruity and bright, juicy red fruits lifted by a hint of pear and bergamot - a faithful nod to Kenzo World's sweet, fresh start. The heart turns properly floral, Egyptian jasmine leading over soft peony and a touch of rose, the white-floral bouquet that gives the original its feminine glow. The drydown is all about ambroxan, the clean, slightly woody musk that became Kenzo World's calling card, rounded here with a whisper of sandalwood and white musk. Compared with the genuine Kenzo, this budget version flattens some of the creamy, powdery orris-and-sandalwood polish that makes the original feel so modern and seamless, and the projection settles faster than the real thing's strong EDP wear. Even so, it keeps that recognisable fruity-floral-into-clean-musk arc that made Kenzo World a hit, an easy daily floral for spring and cooler-weather wear alike.
